He holds the Gator's single-season record with 1,599 rushing yards in 1989 and earned first-team All-American honors. Smith was named SEC Player of the Year by the league coaches in 1989. He finished seventh in the 1989 Heisman Trophy balloting and held 58 Florida records following his junior season.
